Retake Policy Fees

Course retake fees ($30 per credit hour) are assessed when students take a course more than the number of times approved by the Illinois Community College Board.

For most courses:

• Students will be assessed a course retake fee in addition to the tuition and course fees if they have already enrolled in the course two or more times and did not with draw before the end of the refund period, or if they are retaking the course after having received an A, B, C, or P (passing) grade.
• Students retaking a course after receiving an A, B, C, or P grade will receive no additional academic credit. (See specific associate degree program requirements for exceptions to this policy.)
• If a student retakes a course, the highest grade will be applied to his/her Morton College grade point average.

Exception: Some courses (referred to as “repeatable” courses), may be taken several times for college credit. Course descriptions in the Morton College Catalog identify these courses along with the maximum number of times the course may be repeated for college credit. Students who enroll in a repeatable course more than the maximum number of times will also be assessed a course retake fee in addition to the tuition and course fees.

Students who plan to retake a course should first consult with an academic advisor and a financial aid advisor. Students planning to transfer to another college are urged to check that college’s course retake/repeat policy as it may differ and your transfer admission grade point average could be different.
